GOMIDES, P.H.G. et al. Prevalence of coronary risk factors in recreational soccer players. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.2, pp.80-84. ISSN 2172-5063. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ramd.2014.10.071.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of coronary risk factors in recreational soccer players and compare the coronary risk according to age. Methods: 201 men who practiced soccer recreationally eere evaluated, with a mean age of 25.26 ± 5.96 years. All individuals answered the questionnaire RISKO, which is a questionnaire containing eight risk factors. The coronary risk is represented by the sum of the scores obtained in the eight risk factors. Statistical analysis consisted of descriptive exploration and one way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey, to compare coronary risk between age groups. We adopted a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean coronary risk was 18.22 ± 3.49 points (12-29 points), classified as medium risk. Regarding age groups the mean coronary risk obtained was: 16.58 ± 3.11 points for individuals between 18 and 20 years; 18.21 ± 3.08 points for those between 21 and 30 years, 20.58 ± 3.89 points for subjects between 31 and 40 years, and 21.00 ± 4.53 for those aged over 40 years. For each risk factor, the prevalence observed in descending order, was: overweight (44.78%), physical inactivity (38.31%), hypercholesterolemia (24.38%), smoking (17.41%), inheritance (12.94%) and hypertension (8.46%). Conclusion: The coronary risk factors more prevalent in recreational soccer players were overweight, physical inactivity and hypercholesterolemia, showing increased with increasing age, especially after 31 years.
